"Wherever we find the Word of God surely preached and heard, and the sacraments administered, according to the institution of Christ, there, it is not to be doubted, indeed a church of God.”

Tim Tebow and the Cost of Celebrity Christanity

Unfortunately many celebrity Christians forget that to be a public follower of Jesus Christ you will be scorned and persecuted. In fact even if you are not a celebrity you will be. However many fail to heed the message of Christ 2000 years ago about those that wanted to follow Him. He stated: " take up your cross...and consider the cost"(Luke 14:28) . Here is an example of a popular young man, in the celebrity limelight, who, once the heat of controversy warmed him, gets out of the kitchen. Sad to say, the historical landscape of classical Christianity is filled with those who dropped the cross under the weight of persecution. Let's hope Mr. Tebow picks up the cross again and continues on in the good fight of the faith.

Welcome

Welcome to our church blog site! I'm Pastor Paul and I hope everyone will enjoy getting started on our page. Our church is about recapturing the lost for Christ, by spreading the gospel message of the church of God. We hope to bring the message of the protestant reformers back to the modern church while rescuing it from the worlds sinful influence and idolatry.

Statement of Faith

Our statement of faith is to call the Church, amidst a dying culture, to repent of its worldliness, idolatry and sin, to recover and confess the truth of God’s Word as did the protestant reformers, and to see that truth embodied in doctrine, worship, and life . In our mission as the Church, we are to present Christ Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit, that men will come to put their trust in God through Him, to accept Him as their Savior, and serve Him as their King in fellowship of His Church.
